    Man in China, at electronics counter having his smartphone battery replaced.
    He decided to “bite” the battery (check if genuine) ... supposedly no one injured ...
    he removed from his mouth after biting.

    People can do crazy things--no common sense.

    Just about everyone has tested a 9 volt battery by mouth.

    Is that covered by warranty?

    I just bought a lithium battery from 4Wheelonline and other truck rims yes it China made. I just hope it would last.

    There is a member of my 4x4 club who sustained serious burns to his mouth from a Li Ion battery. No, he didn't bite the battery. He was holding a small flashlight in his teeth to work on something and at that moment its battery happened to short out.

    Well, this is the age of having to remind people not to eat the detergent. Just sayin...

    Having opened some batteries as a kid, I would never put those chemical cocktails in my mouth... though I can imagine today's kids trying to open a lithium cell.

    Now we know where all of those so called obvious warning originate.
